What the fair covers

Mining equipment, extraction technology and bulk material handling are the focus. Latin America's leading mining trade exhibition held biennially in Santiago attracting 60000+ professionals. That shapes both the exhibitor mix and the questions worth preparing before you arrive.

Dates, venue and getting there

The fair runs from 20 April to 24 April 2027 at Espacio Riesco in Santiago. It runs for 5 days, which is usually enough to cover several product areas without rushing. Check the venue location against your accommodation before booking, since exhibition grounds are often outside the city centre. Where a rail or metro connection exists it is usually more predictable than road transport during fair weeks.

Planning your visit

Machinery fairs justify the trip because equipment can be seen running. A machine on a stand tells you about cycle time, noise, footprint and build quality in a way that a specification sheet does not. Buyers usually come with a production requirement and compare how different suppliers propose to meet it. For Expomin, that means preparing ahead of the April dates and arriving with a target list of stands.

Language and interpreting support

Business is conducted primarily in Spanish or Portuguese depending on the country, and English coverage among exhibitors varies. Visitors from outside the region generally find language support useful for technical and contractual discussions. An interpreter already working in Santiago saves further time simply by knowing the venue and how to move around it.

After the fair

Buying production equipment is a longer commitment than buying goods. Installation, operator training, spare parts and service response all affect the real cost of ownership, and they are easier to negotiate before the order than after it. Factory visits are common before committing, since seeing the manufacturer build the machine tells you more than seeing it on a stand.
